Frequently asked

How many Fiesta colors have there been?

This guide documents 61 Fiesta colors: 14 from the original 1936-1972 run and 47 from the Post 86 line that began with the 1986 reintroduction. Colors that were made in both eras under the same name - Red, Rose, Yellow, Turquoise and Chartreuse - are listed separately, because the glaze recipes and the resulting colors are not the same.

Which Fiesta colors are in production right now?

13 colors are currently in production: White, Turquoise, Scarlet, Lapis, Poppy, Foundry, Daffodil, Meadow, Peony, Jade, Sky, Linen, Lavender. Fiesta typically introduces one new color a year and retires one or more at the same time, so this list changes every spring.

What is the newest Fiesta color?

Lavender (#9694B8), introduced in 2026. Meet Lavender, Fiesta’s new color for 2026, and 90th anniversary color, continuing into current production.

Are these hex codes official Fiesta colors?

No. The Fiesta Tableware Company does not publish hex values for its glazes. Every hex code here is this project's best-effort digital match, derived from product photography and public reference material, and it is the number every other value on the color page is calculated from. Fired glaze also varies between production runs, so no single hex can be exactly right for every piece. How the data is built →

What is the difference between vintage Fiesta and Post 86?

Vintage Fiesta ran from 1936 until the line was retired in 1973. Fiesta returned in March 1986 for its 50th anniversary in a vitrified, lead-free body with an updated palette - collectors call everything from that point on "Post 86." Post 86 pieces carry a color number (Lapis is No. 337, for example); vintage pieces predate that numbering entirely.

Which Fiesta colors go together?

Every color page ends with a set of table-setting combinations built only from colors Fiesta has actually made - starting, where one exists, with the pairing named in that color's own description, then combinations built on opposite hues, tonal ladders and neutral anchors. Each swatch says whether you can still buy it, so you know which sets you can finish today. How the combinations are built →

What do the Fiesta color numbers mean?

Every Post 86 color carries a number - Lapis is No. 337, Scarlet is No. 326, Lavender is No. 351 - and it is the fastest way to identify a modern piece or order a replacement. The numbers run roughly in order of introduction. Vintage colors from the 1936-1972 run predate the system entirely and have no number.

How do I tell which Fiesta color I have?

Compare your piece to the swatches here in daylight, then check the shape and the backstamp. Narrow the field with the shade filter above, then open a color page for the full production years and nearby colors - a lot of Fiesta identification comes down to separating two colors that are only a few ΔE apart, like Turquoise and Sky.
